You've got to watch these two evangelization videos created by a priest at St. Peter's Chaldean Catholic church in California.

The first series is made up of 11 episodes:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuIbhoMBEt4

The second series consists of only 3 videos at the moment and features a young man who wants to be a saint.The first one is a bit dry, but it gets better.very inspiring.


Excellent Lenten fare.
Enjoy!

Those Chaldeans!

I knew their food was good. I never had any idea they had such a penchant for YouTube hillarity.

Are there any clips of an actual liturgy of the Chaldean Particular Church tradition?

Ung, the previous suggestion is probably better, but one of the joe everyman episodes has a brief shot of mass and one of the characters complains that mass is an hour long. Confession procedures are shown also. I was surprised by how latin they are.

Do they actually call the service "Mass"?

Why not? We do in the UGCC.

I've notice that some Eastern Orthodox do not like using the term "Mass", the Oriental Orthodox and Church of the East use the term interchangeably with "Holy Qurbono", "Eucharist", "Raza", "Divine Liturgy".

Ung, they do call it mass . From what was shown on the videos Chaldean Catholics appear to be very latin except for the "long" mass and a glimpse of an icon or two.

Indigo,

Calling the Holy Qurbono "Mass" is not necessarily a latinization. Just as calling it the "Divine Liturgy" is not a byzantinization.

I would agree with Michael, that "Mass" (sometimes "Holy Mass") is not terribly uncommon among Oriental Catholics, some Oriental Orthodox, and the Chaldean and Assyrian Churches.

Many years,

Neil

That's true,but I think if you watch it you'll see what I mean. So how do you tell if a church is eastern even if all the externals are latin and vice versa?
